A heartwarming post detailing an interaction between a female passenger and a Rapido bike-taxi driver has gone viral on social media. Amidst extreme heat, the passenger offered her driver a cold drink at the end of the trip, evoking a deeply grateful response. The widely shared post has resonated deeply with social media users, who lauded the delivery and cab workers for enduring harsh weather conditions to provide important services.
"Rapido wale bhaiya and I were having a little chat on the way and he mentioned how unbearably hot it's been lately. When I got off, I told him to take care of himself, offered him the soft drink I had with me, and asked him to stay hydrated," the user wrote in an X (formerly Twitter) post.
The driver grew emotional after receiving the beverage and told the passenger that not many people think about individuals like him.
"He got a little emotional and said, “humare baare mein toh kaun hi sochta hai” (no one really thinks about us). I often think about how the smallest gestures of kindness go such a long way," the passenger said, adding: "It just made me realise that the world would be such a better place if we were a little kinder to people more often."
